The American Concession or Settlement was a foreign enclave (a "concession") within present-day Shanghai, which existed from around 1848 until its unification with the city's British area to form the Shanghai International Settlement in 1863.
The concession was located north of the Suzhou River and west of the Huangpu River, in what are today parts of Hongkou District and Jing'an District.
